ESTA is an electronic authorization that allows entry to the United States for tourists and business purposes for a short period. However, it is important to emphasize that it does not set rules regarding the amount of baggage you can bring on a trip. The responsibility for baggage limits actually lies with the airline you travel with.

Each company has its own policies on weight, size, and the number of bags allowed, both for carry-on and checked baggage. Therefore, it is essential that you check your airline”s transportation conditions before boarding, ensuring your baggage complies with the parameters established by them.

Additionally, it is always wise to pay attention to airport security rules and regulations as well as requirements that may vary depending on the route or flight category. Therefore, inform yourself beforehand to avoid surprises and complications during your journey.

Remember also the importance of complying with all US laws and guidelines and consulting reliable sources or specialized professionals so that your travel experience is smooth and without unforeseen events.
